🧪 Expert Angle
Seattle’s offense runs through Cal Raleigh and the long ball, but with Hancock making his debut and the Reds sending out their most reliable starter in Brady Singer, Cincinnati may have the edge here—especially at home. Expect the Reds to grind out a close win in a game that just sneaks over the total.
